i don't see any glaring issues with the build.

do look close at psu options and don't settle for a junk unit. think 550w minimum is what i'd go for. it might run on less but it will leave your upgrade options down the line needing a new psu anyway. otherwise without knowing what other part options are available, i'd say it's a nice build. :)
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Power Supply: 450W/500W 80+ Power Supply (EVGA, Corsair, Apex)
Why do you have 3 brands listed there? Can you specifically state what the make and model of he proposed PSU purchase is?

RAM: 32GB DDR4-3600 (Non RGB) (2 Sticks)
Got a link to the ram kit?

IMHO, I'd opt for building a system using Corsair or NZXT. The brand you're speaking of remind me of Artesian builds.
 
With the money you're spending, you should be able to do better than an RX 6600xt. As it is, it's a good 1080p gaming build, but I question if the 6600xt can maintain 144fps in modern games, in a couple of years it certainly won't.

The 5600x doesn't really need a 240mm aio cooler, heck it runs ok on the included box cooler if you curve optimize the voltage. And what is all this "Apex" management, overclocking and anti-virus, did you get a package deal on some software? It sounds unnecessary to me, use the money you're spending here to get the next tier up GPU.

There aren't many options I can use sadly.

if you post what options you do have we can at least tell you what is the best choice :)

other option is to go with the cheapest one and order a better unit to install yourself. may not be a great option but i've done that myself with a couple pre-builts some friends have ordered. we just went with the cheap "freebie" psu and swapped it out when it came in.

Ah. I don't want to play games that have better graphics than Skyrim on crazy mods.

All the "Apex" Stuff is because i'm making a pc on Apex Gaming Pcs
 
i'm mainly focused on a psu that is worth using :)

from that short list i'd go with the platinum 750w. should be decent no matter which brand it ends up being. the rest of the build looks pretty good to me. though lots of good notes and ideas from everyone else that is def worth consideration.
